Carmen's Farm Market in Mays Landing, NJ

Oh, hon, you won't believe who I ran into at the Ventnor library today. It was my neighbor, the one who alphabetizes his spice rack like it's a life-or-death situation. Let's call him Mr. Organized. Anyway, he was all in a tizzy about how everyone’s Venmoing for beach chairs now. I mean, who knew a beach day could get so high-tech? Back in the day, you just threw down a towel and hoped for the best. Now, you need a smartphone and a financial plan just to sit in the sand. But hey, if it means I don't have to lug a chair from the car, I'm all for it. Speaking of things I’m all for, let’s talk about Carmen's Farm Market in Mays Landing. You know the place, right?
